72 blue goon


Recommended Posts

I picked this wagon up last August. Put all new door seals and window felts in and parked it til spring. Had a few weeks of dailying it until I happened upon a 210 that was a much better daily for the winter.

That's basically the current state but it started here:

Did some things, washed it, put some sound deadening in the floor, slowed down the leak in the filler neck.

How do you like the single 40? I've asked everyone I know with one and get mixed reviews. Some say they're great, some say they're hard to tune because the two middle cylinders will always run a tiny bit rich.

 

Also great first post man! Do you have a brother with a 210 also? If so I'm pretty certain I met him at Brooke's one day.

Dig the goon and the direction you are going.

 

Same question on the single 40. I have one sitting in the shed. I keep finding conflicting reports on how well it works and wether or not it is big enough for my l20. I assume you have an l16, but more data is always useful.

Yeah it will never be totally smooth across all 4 unless you can get your hands on a lynx mani. It's fine though, doesn't seem to vibrate more than usual. Plenty reliable and a lot better than a Hitachi.

And yeah, my brother Zach's got a silver 210, but he's been driving my flesh colored 210 lately.

 

dude the stock 69 hubcaps are way BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

flatblack the hood or get that Carbon fibre tape

I've rocked those caps on every datsun I've had, but I don't wanna mess em up so I always find something else. Hoods gotta go darker, but I had the blue and white was the worst.

Need to come see this again!

yeah dude stop by or hit me up anytime!

Cruised down to Crater Lake Saturday night to catch the sunrise. Ended up taking the long loop and going up Cascade Lakes highway and up to Smith Rock on the way back to Eugene. ~500 mile day in the desert and not a single problem with the wagon.

Good to hear on the single 40. I'm thinking I'll eventually snag one up. Yeah Zack was definitely his name, met him right before your guys trip to Cali. I'll have to check out your goon sometime, wouldn't mind going for a ride to see the difference from a downdraft.

Badass drive, cascade lakes Hwy is my favorite road in the state.

Lemme know if you wanna feel out the 40 sometime, or if you see me out wrenching just stop by, 18th and friendly across from the catholic school, kinda small driveway..

 

Yeah Cascade Lakes is a great drive. Last time I drove through, the stretch between devils lake and todd lake was just starting to get covered in snow and I was in the 210 so I cut off onto one of the forest roads and had some fun. :rofl: I hear hwy 242 just opened back up, it'd be nice to get a few people together for a drive up the observatory on a full moon sometime.
